This delicious white cake hits the spot when you have a craving for cake!

To make this cake you will need:

White snack cake recipe (below)

Vanilla buttercream recipe

8×8 pan

White Snack Cake

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113g) butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) cups cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (123g) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 egg (160g) whites, room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare 8x8 square pan with butter and flour or baking spray.
  2. Beat butter at medium speed with a hand-held mixer until creamy, roughly 3-4 minutes.
  3. Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  4. Stir together milk and vanilla. (If you are adding almond extract, add it here)
  5. Sift together flour and baking powder; add to butter mixture alternately with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition.
  6. Beat egg whites at medium speed until stiff peaks form; gently fold into batter. Pour batter into prepared pans.
  7. Bake at 350° for 35-38 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.
  9. Optional: Cover with white frosting.

For the frosting, I used this Whipped Buttercream recipe and halved it.

Tips for Success:

You’ll notice that I listed almond extract as optional. I am a HUGE fan of almond extract in white cake and absolutely love the freshness that it adds to this delicate cake. If you would prefer to not use it, simply omit from recipe. :)

Be sure your milk and eggs are at room temperature. (More info on that in my Best Yellow Cupcakes blog post) To quickly warm milk you can pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds. To warm eggs, just let them sit in a cup of hot water for about 5 minutes. Easy peasy!

Make sure you prepare your dish well! I love using GOOP (Homemade Pan Release) in this recipe.

If you plan on serving your cake right in the pan like I did, try my tips for baking a level cake.

Just look at the crumb!!

One thing I love about this cake is how easily adaptable it is. You can serve it with fresh fruit, with chocolate frosting, or even by itself! You can add raspberry extract, peppermint extract, orange extract, or add some lemon zest and lemon juice. The possibilities are endless!
